This bill is being introduced in the House of Representatives. It would require firearm registration and ban all private sales of firearms. If this is of concern to you, please contact your House representative and urge him/her to oppose this bill. I have already done so.
House Bill H.R 8

My Representative is a piece of **** (David Scott) that's owned by the DNC, can't do much there. I wonder when we will say enough is enough and take back our country?
I did. Got a reply from Drew Fergusen stating he is against it and for the bill or rights. Happy to read his reply
SO this is coming up for a vote this week or next. Let's just say that it somehow gets through both houses and signed by Trump into law... a long shot, but I wouldn't rule anything out at this point...
Does that pretty much shut this place down? If every purchase or trade has to go through an FFL, will we still be here, but whenever a deal is struck we have to do the meet at a dealer for the paperwork?

Yes, and probably be subject to a transfer fee. At least that's what they do in California. Add in a waiting period and then you have to make the same trip twice. Zero to do with safety, everything about making law abiding citizens jump through hoops and bury dealers in extra paperwork.
Well, hopefully the Bill doesn't become law. There is no point to it... It's not like gang bangers are suddenly going to start going to dealers and filling out 4473's... But common sense is rarely a factor with these things...
Have contacted rep. This better not go anywhere.
You wouldn't think it would pass, but the reality is that on paper to the casual observer, the proposal sounds plausible... I mean, to the average Joe, does the idea of "all gun purchases require a background check" *sound* like a bad idea?
Not really. Yes, we know that criminals won't care and will ignore the new laws just as they ignore the current ones... But to most people, it probably sounds like a good idea...

There are many, many on this site that would be tickled pink to play "FFL dealer" when they sail a gun to another member.
They don't want a record of gang bangers' transactions. Only yours.
